* **Bug Fixes**
* Playback retries can use another available provider when playback has not started, helping requests proceed if the initially selected provider is unavailable.
* Once playback has started, retries continue using the same eligible provider to preserve playback continuity.
* Provider selection follows the same rules for regular playback and forced reopens, reducing unnecessary provider pinning before media begins.
* Series episode URLs can resolve to the correct account-specific playback address.
* fixing resource url problem
* fix(resources): classify resource destinations per hop and keep the proxy in the fetch path
A resource URL is classified (public / non-public / local) before it reaches a client, and every
redirect hop is classified and fetched again: non-public hops connect directly, public hops go
through the configured proxy, local hops are refused. Adds the public no-redirect resource client,
a process-wide destination memo, and regression tests for the redirect and Web UI paths.

* **Bug Fixes**
* Improved live-stream session handling during instant grace periods, including when a session has not yet been created.
* Corrected connection-limit and eviction tracking so active streams remain eligible for eviction even when their session record is unavailable.
* Improved reliability when switching between live channels under connection limits.
* **Improvements**
* Updated staged M3U overlays for Xtream providers: staged groups determine selected categories and channels, while unmatched categories remain available. Provider categories with no usable staged channels are retained.
* **Documentation**
* Clarified how staged Xtream and M3U playlists affect provider categories and channels.
- add target-wide TMDB Trending discovery for movie/TV and day/week, bounded by an optional `limit` (default 100, range 1–500) of unique remote references before local matching
- compose concrete Trakt and TMDB sources under one target curation policy while retaining legacy `output[].trakt` compatibility
- match only positive TMDB IDs of the same media kind and preserve existing catalog identities, series closure, and Xtream alias behavior
- require every active selector to complete before target IDs, writers, caches, or watches can change
- preserve the YAML-owned block through Source Editor operations and add TMDB setup/failure documentation and application Credits attribution
- validate complete decoded pages under independent request, selector, and shared target-batch budgets, using a configured TMDB-only HTTP profile with certificate/hostname verification and no redirects or replays
* **New Features**
* Added a Resource Policy editor for each input, supporting trusted hostnames and private network ranges.
* Resource URLs now retain their source input and use authenticated links where supported.
* Resource caching is scoped to the policy authorizing access.
* **Bug Fixes**
* Invalid or unsupported resource values are safely discarded.
* Redirects and destination addresses are rechecked against the applicable policy.
* **Breaking Changes**
* Private DNS destinations require approved hosts and networks; private IP literals require an approved network.
* Input and alias names must be non-empty and globally unique.
- **New Features**
- Added assertions for verifying which provider account handled the latest request.
- Enabled provider-affine playback to fall back to another available provider when the pinned provider is unavailable.
- **Bug Fixes**
- Improved provider fallback handling, origin request tracking, and session updates.
- Preserved session headers when fallback stream setup fails and refreshed them after successful fallback.
- **Tests**
- Added coverage for provider-pool failover, account reuse, limits, rejection handling, and eviction behavior.
* **New Features**
* Added an opt-in runtime liveness watchdog with diagnostics, health status, and optional automatic restart.
* Added configurable stream cleanup capacity and eviction re-entry protection.
* Expanded configuration and UI access for users with playlist or user permissions, with safer data sanitization.
* Added testkit scenarios and reporting for playback, admission, provider limits, sharing, and VOD behavior.
* Added support for experimental-branch Docker builds.
* **Bug Fixes**
* Improved provider prioritization, shared playback capacity, cleanup, reconnect handling, and concurrent client behavior.
* Fixed playlist parsing for declared media types.
* Release links now use the configured destination.
New Features
Added an option to append a stable, numeric stream index to upstream User-Agent headers.
Stream indexes remain consistent throughout a playback session, including manifests, segments, reconnects, seeks, and provider failover.
Added a configuration checkbox for enabling the feature.
Documentation
Documented the new configuration option, including session behavior and restart handling.
Added English, Arabic, and Russian translations for the setting.

New Features
Programme icons are now captured when importing XMLTV electronic programme guides.
Programme icons are preserved when combining programme data from multiple sources.
Exported XMLTV guides now include programme icon information when available.
Icon URLs are rewritten consistently when URL rewriting is enabled.
Bug Fixes
Public resource requests now avoid following redirects and validate destinations before fetching.
Resource caching behavior is now correctly applied according to the request type.
Compatibility
Existing guides and legacy programme data remain supported when no icon is provided.
* Fix M3U alias credential rewriting on provider fallback
Rewrite opaque authentication query parameters when stream allocation
switches from the primary M3U provider to an alias.
Support unambiguous cross-key mappings such as token to api_key while
preserving unrelated query parameters and rejecting ambiguous mappings.
Add regression coverage for URL rewriting and provider allocation.
